Chapter 3


In an hour, the doorbell rang and Sydney walked down stairs wearing blue jeans, a pink t-shirt, and a light blue cardigan over it. Her hair was down, over her shoulder, and she had on her favorite sneakers.

When she opened the door, Nicole was standing there wearing a pink long-sleeve shirt, and blue jeans.

"Hey," Sydney said.

"Hi, come on, everyone is waiting in my mother's car," Nicole told her.

"Ok," Sydney said then she yelled to her dad and Elizabeth, "I'm leaving now."

"Ok, have fun," Ben said as Sydney left.

"So, did she tell Nicole that she's moving, yet?" Elizabeth asked standing next to him.

Ben shook his head. "No, I don't think so," he said.

Sydney sat in the back of Nicole's mother's SUV with Nicole, and Drew. Sasha and Keith were ahead of them.

"So, how was Hawaii?" Drew, a brown, shaggy-haired, brown-eyed around Sydney's age, asked Sydney.

"It was fun," Sydney said hoping that this wouldn't be the whole topic of the night. She felt bad that she was leaving her friends that she had known for a long time.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the skating rink. They all piled out of Nicole's mother's SUV.

"Ok, I'll pick you guys up at 9:30. Its 7 now, well, a little after, have fun!" she said,

Nicole, Sydney, Keith, Sasha, and Drew all walked inside and walked over to the desk to borrow roller skates. Then they all walked over to some free benches nearby the rink.

"Come on!" Nicole said, who was the first to put her skates on, and already out skating.

Sydney smiled as she tied her roller skates on.

"Oh, man, Nicole's so hyper," Sasha, with black hair, and hazel eyes wearing jeans, a blue shirt with a jean jacket over it, said smiling, "I'm going now."

"Wait, I'll go with you," Keith said standing up and following Sasha. Keith had blonde hair, not shaggy like Drew's. He was Drew's best friend and he wore a pair of khaki's and a green shirt.

"Ready?" Drew asked sitting next to Sydney.

"Yeah," Sydney said standing up. She skating over to the entrance, followed by Drew who wasn't so steady with roller skates.

"I'm not to good at roller skating," Drew said as he skated with Sydney onto the rink to try and find their friends who skated off.

"That's ok, I'll teach you," Sydney said.

Drew smiled, and he was going to say something else but he lost his balanced. "W-whoa," he said as he held onto Sydney for support, but the two of them fell anyway.

They both laughed as they sat there, in the middle of the rink as everyone around them skated, and staring at them.

"Sorry, I told you I was bad at skating," Drew said smiling.

"That's ok," Sydney said with a smile.

Then Drew stood up, a little wobble though, and helped Sydney up.

"Thanks," Sydney said.

"No problem," Drew said smiling.

"Um, so, we should fins Sasha, Keith, and Nicole," Sydney said.

"Yeah, we should, I guess," Drew said.

"Drew! Their our friends!" Sydney said.

"Yeah, I know, " Drew said skating backwards, really wobbly, but he was sill doing it.

"Um, Drew, be careful," Sydney said.

"Look! I'm skating backwards," Drew said smiling.

Sydney skated over to him.

"You're going to bump into someone," she said.

"No, I won't," he said just before he bumped into a couple skating together. "Oh, sorry," Drew said turning around to see the couple glare at him.

"Whoops," he said turning back toward Sydney.

Sydney laughed.

"What's so funny?" Drew asked with a smile pretending to be hurt.

"You are," she said.

"I am, am I?"

Sydney nodded, smiling.

Drew started to skate toward her, but fell again, taking Sydney down with him again, and falling on top of her.

He was quiet first, staring into her eyes.

"Sorry," he said.

Sydney didn't know what to say. When she looked into Drew's eyes she felt different. She didn't know why, but she pushed Drew off her, and skated off.

Drew sat on the rink floor staring after her, sad, wondering what just happened.
